Attention Getter:If you don’t know the trees you may be lost in the forest, but if you don’t know the stories you may be lost in life. —Siberian Elder
Explanation: If story is not present in life, then life itself would be difficult.
Background Info:
- Story telling has existed since the cavemen were in their caves chatting about what they did over the long day or when they invented fire. Story telling has since grown to be a large part of daily life. Story is everywhere. It is behind advertising. It is in books. It is in people. It is in conversations. Story is a fundamental piece of planning and explaining. It is a sequence of experiences through which a connection is available to others. Since in todays society facts are almost free and available at the click of a button, story is necessary to add meaning to facts. It delivers the straight facts with an impact that brings back the significance of that fact. They put facts into contexts so that they are easily understood. Story is involved in advertising which accounts for 2.5% of the US economy and influences 21 million jobs (15% of the US total) according to http://www.micropersuasion.com/2006/10/ana_ceo_adverti.html
Both sides: Story can be thought of as a traditional, nonimportant thing that is part of kindergarden then we move on and no longer need it, however it is clear that story is very prominent in the world of today.
Thesis:
In Daniel Pink's A Whole New Mind, Pink argues that Story is behind many different aspects in people's lives and that it increase productivity in businesses, memorization in education, and value in communication.
